Amadeus

I just had an epiphany. I don't know why, but the first time I watched Amadeus it felt like nothing. Some scenes moved me, for sure, but it ended as nothing. The more days I have survived after that first watch, the louder the music gets, the bigger the swelling inside my chest gets. The more I think about the movie, the more I embrace it, like, it's like opening your arms and just letting that ray of light really hit you and reach every nook and cranny of your body. This film every second of it was utter brilliance from every aspect, this beautifully shot and edited film which conveys so much about the men's relationship with their art, how it speaks to each of them differently, one with grace and one with agony yet it never stopped being the language that they both understand, all the acts of jealousy and envy that salieri had, it all was almost dissolved,, silenced by very the language in which he swallow and writes down on his greatest "rival" deathbed. "It's something that for some reason stays with you" scorsese said this.
